More About the Dynamic Mother-Daughter Duo’s Miami Facial Studio
As a board-certified dermatologist, it’s safe to say Dr. Deborah Longwill DO, FACD is a skincare expert–and now you can get doctor-designed facials at the Skin Studio by Doctor’s Daughter. She teamed up with her daughter Danielle Fox to launch their Coral Gables-based facial studio, offering custom facials and laser hair removal. This isn’t their first foray into business together–the power pair previously launched Doctor’s Daughter skincare products. Learn more about how their facial studio was created, what makes Skin Studio and their skincare line special, and more.
What sparked the idea to open a skin facial studio together?
Danielle: So actually, we launched Doctor’s Daughter Skincare first during quarantine, 4 years ago, which is crazy. It was actually my mom’s idea. One day, she said in passing, “We should open a doctor’s daughter store.” And I was like, “Wait, we should!” So we started to look into it and expanded to offering services as well.
Deborah: The studio is such a great way for us to connect directly with our clients in Coral Gables, offering them personalized experiences and seeing firsthand how our products can make a difference.
Danielle: It’s so fulfilling, to see the space come together and know that our efforts will help so many. It makes all the hard work worth it, knowing we’re continuing a legacy of care and wellness that started with you.
Deborah: Seeing you take such an active role in both the creation and the day-to-day operations of the studio has been wonderful. It’s truly better when we work together, just like our skincare products.
As a dermatologist, how does your medical expertise shape the services and treatments offered at your studio?
Deborah: My years of experience as a dermatologist have profoundly influenced the services and treatments we offer at our studio. I prioritize treatments that are not only effective, but also safe for our clients. My medical background allows us to stay at the forefront of dermatological advancements, ensuring that we provide the most up-to-date and evidence-based care. This expertise enables us to offer a range of treatments tailored to each client’s individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes for their skin health.
What makes your approach to skin health different from other facial studios?
Deborah: I have more than 30+ years experience doing clinical research and getting patients’ results. I’ve customized over 30,000 patients’ skincare routines. I was also an early adopter of clean skincare and beauty. We take a very personalized approach. It’s so important for us to get to know our clients, their environmental factors and day-to-day lifestyles.
How has your mother-daughter relationship influenced your decision to start this business?
Danielle: My mom has been a tremendous influence on my decision to start this business. Growing up, she instilled in me the values of hard work, perseverance, and compassion. Our relationship has taught me the importance of supporting and empowering women, which ultimately led to creating a business that focuses on helping women feel confident and beautiful in their skin. My mom’s guidance and encouragement have been invaluable to me, and I strive to honor her legacy every day.
What have you learned about each other from working together on this project?
Danielle: Working on this project has taught us a lot about each other. I’ve learned even more about the depth of her knowledge and experience in dermatology, and her insights into skincare and customer care.
On the other hand, I think she has learned about my creativity and vision for the business. We’ve both learned to appreciate each other’s strengths and how they complement our own. Overall, this experience has strengthened our bond and our respect for each other’s abilities. She’s my right hand and rock.
What’s your favorite memory of working together?
Deborah: One of the most memorable experiences we shared was navigating the process of obtaining permits for our store. Every step seemed to bring a new hurdle or delay, but instead of getting discouraged, we found ourselves laughing at the absurdity of it all. We’d joke about how each permit was like a badge of honor, a testament to our perseverance.
Danielle: I still can’t believe what we did in a year. Opening the SkinStudio by Doctor’s Daughter is a milestone. I am so excited to finally present our products in a space that reflects our brand’s ethos.
